Rear seats weight:

Component Weight (lb)
Rear seat cushion 14.5
Rear folding seat back 37 (15/22 (R/L))

So 52 pounds in total. You'll need a 50 Torx socket to loosen the bolts holding the seat backs in place.

Fitted the GFB DV+ with main spring... Bitch of a job but worth it I think for those of us with 6MT.

Any noticeable benefits? I was thinking about doing this too, but didn't find anything super conclusive.

I was hoping it would eliminate turbo lag between shifts under hard acceleration... and it doesn't.

What it appears to do though, is to hold some level of boost in the FMIC / Induction piping, which results in much better throttle response at part throttle, and some reduction in turbo lag under hard acceleration.

I believe the way it works is to prevent high pressure spikes when you come off throttle, but maintain some amount of pressure in the system to reduce the amount of spool up required for requested boost again.

My observations would make sense if my understanding is correct because at part throttle, and shifting below 4k RPM, boost is low anyway, and if that pressure is maintained, you'll feel much better response when you get back on (part) throttle.

Overall, for $150, it's a nice addition. It does improve throttle response quite a lot, but it's at the low boost / rev range that it really makes a difference, rather than the top, which is what I was hoping for.

Oh yea, she definitely wakes up under load, but the volume is very tolerable. I think you're going to like it.

Would be interested in hearing your opinion.
How does it sound without AS? Does it sound the same but less loud? Or sounds different?

Over the past couple of weeks (just bought the car about a month ago) I've installed black gloss M2 badge, IND carbon fiber kidney grilles w/ black gloss M2 badge, polar blue start/stop w/ silver bezel, Pedal Haus silver pedal set, burger motorsports 12F/10R wheel spacers and ASD bypass harness.

I also just finished using my new feynlab pure rinseless car wash and P&S bead maker paint protectant (both work fantastic). Here are some pics of everything installed

Installed some of my new Bavsound kit today, just the ghost underseat woofers. I forgot to take pics of the install, because I was done so quickly. I'll take some pics of the stage one speaker install along with Musicar level two sub install soon

How is it? I'm disappointed in the bass output so this is something I'm really keen on.

Wrapped the side grille emblems in gloss black to see how the vinyl would hold up during the winter season.
